Enchanted (The Accidental Billionaires #4)(35)

I sighed. Being like this with Noah was like . . . coming home for me.

The man was a natural protector, and it was the first time I remembered really feeling . . . safe.

Adored.

Important.

Necessary to someone.

It was a heady and possibly addictive state to be in. But I knew I couldn’t get used to the euphoric emotions I was experiencing.

It isn’t going to last. We only have a few more days here in Cancún.

Noah might jokingly talk about us being tied together, but it wasn’t going to happen. It couldn’t.

I can’t be tied to anyone, whether I want to be or not.

“I meant it when I said you were done experimenting,” he grunted into my ear. “You’re mine now, Andie.”

I knew I shouldn’t feel the shiver of excitement that coursed through my being at his announcement.

It was primal.

Alpha.

Possessive.

And there was absolutely no room for negotiation in his words.

Strangely, that didn’t trouble me at all. Well, except for the fact that I couldn’t possibly have a future with him. But we had right now. I was his at the moment.

Honestly, I didn’t believe that Noah meant forever, either. It was just an emotional moment for both of us.

“I don’t want to be with anybody else,” I confessed.

“I think I’d lose my shit if I saw you with anybody else.” His arm tightened around my waist.

He’ll never see me with anyone else because that can never happen.

“Because I was a virgin?” I questioned.

“Because you’re . . . you,” he growled. “Because you’re supposed to be with me.”

“Then you’re supposed to be mine, too,” I joked.

I was joking, but why was the whole thought of this man belonging to me so damn appealing?

“Already am,” he agreed wholeheartedly. “You’ve got me by the balls, woman. What are you going to do with them?”

I squirmed and turned until I was facing him, and the expression of devotion in his eyes nearly leveled me. My heart started to contract so hard that I could hear every beat of it pounding in my ears.

I can’t start thinking about tomorrow. I can’t start to believe that Noah is supposed to be my everything.

“I have a lot of time to make up for,” I said huskily as I slid my hand down his body and wrapped my fingers around his enormous cock. “It took me way too long to find you.”

“Sweetheart, we didn’t even talk about birth control, but if you get pregnant—”

“I won’t,” I interrupted. “I’ve been on birth control for years to regulate my periods. The last thing you need right now is another child to raise, Noah.”

He was barely starting to live his own life. He needed to find himself before he was forced to start giving again.

He needed to be selfish.

He needed to figure out who he was before he had to think about a kid.

I searched his face, and I wasn’t sure if he was relieved or disappointed that I was protected.

He closed his eyes and groaned as I started to stroke his cock. “You’re going to get a lot more than you bargained for if you keep that up,” he rumbled ominously. “You’ll end up not being able to walk tomorrow.”

I snorted. “I think it would be a fair tradeoff.”

I knew I was poking the beast, but I didn’t care. I wanted more of Noah. I wanted whatever he’d give me for as long as it lasted. I needed to explore him, see what made him lose his mind.

He lifted me over his body, and I was in the perfect position to touch every inch of him until my curiosity was satisfied.

“I hope to hell there’s nothing on your itinerary for tomorrow,” he growled as I nipped at his earlobe.

“Nothing important,” I whispered into his ear.

I’d done everything I needed to in Cancún.

Right now, my priority was the gorgeous, muscular, powerful man underneath me.

“Good. We’ll call room service when we get hungry,” he said in a graveled tone.

That worked for me.





CHAPTER 14

ANDIE



The following three days were the happiest I’d ever experienced in my entire life.

They were also the most bittersweet days, because I knew that my stolen time with Noah was coming to an end.

We screwed on almost every surface of the hotel suite, but rather than scratching the painful itch he’d caused inside me, it only made me want him more every single time.

Noah was addictive, and it got to the point where he could undo me with a single touch.

A word.

A look.

A wicked laugh.

Then again, I knew I had the same effect on him, and that knowledge was pretty damn powerful.

Three days of doing very little except exploring each other’s desires had honed my skills in seduction.

Not that Noah needed all that much encouragement. He seemed almost insatiable.

Seriously, I wasn’t about to start complaining about that.

The man had made me drown in pleasure, and be quite happy about the fact that I’d given in to it.

“Do you think the flight attendant was scandalized when I just grabbed the tray of food from her and slammed the door?” Noah drawled, not sounding worried about his actions at all.
